Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says:
The market for cotton contracts has been only
moderately active, but on the whole pretty
hA n.Ia dow
few points were lost but later the demand was
increased by the receipt of buying orders from
the South, and final rates were generally about
the same as last evening, with considerable
strength shown Colder weather and reports of
frost at Nashville, Tenn, also carried some in
uence and induced local covering. September
was without noticeable strength, and expecta-
tons OF final squeeze are practically aban-
doned."

CHICAGO, Sept. 2i.--.lll the markets opened
even lower to-day than yesterday. The selling
of both corn and wheat during the first hour
was very persistent on the part of two or three
local operators, and their combined efforts kept
prices down until toward noon, when the crowd
began picking up small lots, causing prices to
advance somewhat. While exporters were not
buying as yesterday, the continuous picking up
of small lots by several houses, which has kept
up for the past ten days, began to attract some
attention, and it is probable that purchases are
made for the purpose of making old wheat in
store available for shipping purposes. October
opened at 691sc, sold ~ 7Oc, then down to 699Sc,
and about noon advanced to 704c. December
started at 7234c sold ut .21Sc, down TO 1859 and
firnled up to 73c May sold at &c to open, then
up to 781slg7814c, down 10 17j4c, and later re-
acted with other futures. selling above 7Sc. The
best prices for the day were shortly before the
closing, when October touched 7036c December
day were October 703sc, December T31sc, May
7sl4c. Corn sold with a wider range than on
yesterday. Opening prices were the same as
Friday closing and the first action was a slight
decline, taking October to 4034c and May to
4414c Later in the day there was much better
feeling and October advanced to 4l35c and No
vember to 4116c and May to 451zc. This upward
